Every day the debt rises to never before seen levels. That’s not new or something exclusive to one party or the other.
- scarface_74 1y agoIt absolutely is worse for one party more than the other. Clinton was the last President to balance the budget. Bush II and Trump made it far worse than any Democrat
- unnamed76ri 1y agoThat’s just factually not true. Obama and Biden both added more than Bush II. Trump on the other hand is a big spender…

- unnamed76ri 1y agoYes, thank you for providing a source that supports what I wrote. Big of you to highlight your prior mistake.
- scarface_74 1y agoAre you really saying that Clinton didn’t balance the budget that Bush II undid and that Trump’s latest “Big Beautiful Bill” is projected to add 3 trillion to the budget on top of what he did in 2017?
- unnamed76ri 1y agoI’m saying what I said originally: your statement was not factual. Your own source affirms that.
- scarface_74 1y agoSo which party’s presidents since Reagan have raised the deficit more?
- triceratops 1y agoIt doesn't support what you wrote. "The U.S. budget deficit exploded in fiscal year 2009, ultimately reaching $1.4 trillion under President George W. Bush...The deficit would remain above $1 trillion throughout the 2012 fiscal year, but it was slashed to as low as $440 billion in the later years of Obama's presidency." Comparing Biden to GWB doesn't make any sense. Their presidencies were 12 years apart and in very different circumstances.
